Dear Maggie,
Here is my report about the planting of the Meadow on Monday, April 25, 2011. Please feel free to edit the following and if Herb wants to use some part for the Chronicle its fine with me.
Thirteen residents whose homes bordered on the Meadow gathered on Monday morning April 25, to plant bulbs and flowering plants(mostly native) in our Meadow. Five, Pink Coneflower were planted in circles in 12 spots, six orange Butterfly Weed will make a beautiful display in late July and August and 6-7 ' tall Gateway variety of Joe Pye Weed will rise above the Mugwort to make a showing in August and September.
Flowers are now coming into bloom. Lots of purple Dame's Rockets are flowering in the north east side of the meadow.
I want to thank all of the following people who planted and adopted plants to water over the next few weeks: Carmelita Aseron, Judy Atwood, Dave Bartram, Linda Gorwood, Janet Gray, Maggie Heineman, Sue Kuhn, Eileen McConville, Trish and Geno Mori, Mary Noll, Rolfa Rodgers, Dave Swartz and Louise Tompkins.
